You going to let the secret out of the bag - there is no way I’m falling asleep before 3 tonight.

That is disgraceful.

It’s a cop out. The AFL force them to make a call so that the ARC can revert to umpires call because it’s a useless system. One day it’s going to ruin a final - and boy do I hope it’s one of the big clubs that get robbed - that will force the AFLs hand to do something about it.

Its grainy at best, the zoom does nothing. AFL need at least 500 FPS cameras on the goal line with some type of hot spot tech. Will cost 50-100K for every ground. But that is a drop in the ocean. Also don’t make goal umpire make a call. If in doubt go to the ARC and allow them to make the decision. If that was the case tonight, it would have been a goal because there was no evidence that it was touched.

I agree- I just got back and the first thing I did was bring this up on the telly. This was an absolute howler of a call. And the fact that the Arc didn’t overrule is an absolute joke. I was prepared to suck it up but after watching this for myself, it is undeniable. How the goal umpire calls it touched is pure guess work. It is clearly instruction from the AFL to make a call one way or the other and this bloke picked a side. The media won’t make a fuss as they’ll talk about their love affair with the Blues. The AFL will be more than happy in having the talking points dominate the airwaves.

Just take a timeout for a day DD.

He really should have drilled that shot. We had multiple chances to win it. Touched or not. The Ark is a half measure until it can be reliable enough to make a call. The goal umpire shouldn’t guess if he isn’t 100% sure. Make the Arc make the call.

Really concerning start at the ground. We are being out hunted.

It’s because we all own Landrovers and park at the G.

Anyone seen Oliver in the warmup? Can’t sight him. A couple of our players watching the game instead of warming up. All good…sighted .

They will be a 3-7 side next year.

Next week against Lions will be telling of Pies finals chances. Too much going on in tonight’s game to get a true read.

How was Bowes on the money at Suns? He has no clue

FMD cats don’t want to win

Hold my beer.

Yep. The Pies look slick. You just can’t turn it over in d50 against the Pies.

No report ?

Good to see dissent doesn’t exist anymore.

I don’t think it would matter. Midfield has caved under pressure.

220 pressure index for q2 by Pies. That is literally off the charts. Hard to seem them sustain that throughout the game.

Pies not going out without a fight.

Pies going down like flies.

Push and HTB not paid. Joke.

We are due for a statement game. We have had patches of great footy in the past month, but nothing from start to finish that was without compromise.. .a game that will send a shiver down the spines of everyone else in the comp. it has to be a convincing win in both the way we play and the scoreboard. the opponent is irrelevant.

Sicily was the first player that came to mind. Put him in place for May and throw May to FF!
